Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president? Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out
Well said, and a wonderful bit of work by Newsome to build a massive spotlight to shine on the double standard the media has adopted for Chump.
On point, Gov!
AYFKM
Newsom and his team are masters at trolling….and I’m here for it!! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
I totally agree ! And release the Epstein files
Exactly
Same question for unhinged Trump tweets please!
👏🏻💯💯💯💯
I got thrown off Twitter for the third time because I insulted the orange turd. Yet he lies and insults people daily and Musk allows him to stay. I don't miss X, except for cute little Bertie Lakeland.
In today's political climate we need a fighter like Newsom. Schumer's "strongly worded letters" sure as hell aren't working.
Why don't they ever ask the president about his unhinged tweets? Or his unhinged pressers? Or his constant regurgitation of word salad?
Right??
He will just call them names. Guess they are scared of him.
If a tool as Trump call you names, you laugh at them. Mock them. Don't give in to them.
The point I think was spot was “how have we allowed the normalization” of trump’s social media posts. That is on the MSM for refusing to call him out on that behavior.
I wonder if blaming reporters is just a way of excusing ourselves for not raising hell across the country? There has been way too much moaning about how difficult Magas make Thanksgiving for the family.
I feel like it’s a “both/and”. There have been a lot of protests rhat are not getting covered. LA Music Festival is a great example. I see them on TikTok, barely here on BS and not on MSM. So, agree, more protests, but we need to find ways to broadcast these better.
sometimes it's effective to post in MAGA language, not in decent English. at least MAGA folks feel comfortable reading it.
Love it!!!! go Gavin! 🥳🥳
Right on!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Remember when the US used to send in troops when we saw unruly nations trying to take over other areas? Well, it looks like China is the new leader of the free world. We live in an alternate reality. China to the rescue. Even Xi is Trolling Trump.🤣
I feel like I'm living in an alternate reality
Love how the Media have issues with Dems using social media like Trump. Fucking incredible and predictable.
☝️☝️☝️
🎯
Newsom is surgically taking apart this con.
🙏👏💙👍🙏💙
Everyone who has a platform that might reach Trump should be doing this.
Exactly! Too many politicians have never done this. Hopefully it works.
Who asked that dumb question. It’s pretty obvious by the language he’s using that he’s totally trolling the guy.
That was a good answer.
Spot on.
Amazing response. Every democrat should be calling attention to Trump’s absurd and terrible behaviors that the media has normalized. Not just his tweets, everything.
I’ve never understood why they don’t.
About time someone calls out the press for holding Trump to a much different standard!
Nail on the head.
He’s on fire.
Good for you Newsom, good job you may have just saved humanity 😊👍🏻
Words that really needed to be said. Finally.
Excellent point. Why isn't Trump or the Republicans scrutinized for their comments? Why the double standard.
Not just "should have concerns" but also SHOULD HAVE *HAD*‼️‼️‼️ (since 2016)
But Trump is a #SpecialBoy who does what he wants!
At its heart, we're witness to a coming-of-age tale set in the wild, where themes of legacy, betrayal, and redemption unfold through the life of a young internet troll named Gavin Newsom. Hakuna Makata
Damn straight! The cult has ridiculed his recent posts, calling him out for everything TACO also does, but still don’t see their own hypocrisy. 🤦🏻♀️
Precisely!
Hell yeah, good point
Newsom and his staff’s tweets are hilarious!
He's brilliant.
Newsom is spot-on. If someone doing EXACTLY what Trump does is objectionable, then why accept what Trump does without even a peep of concern???
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social is E X A C T L Y WHAT AMERICA NEEDS! No BS, no backdown, no on his knees, no cowardice, no capitulation and NO FEAR! I’m Fed up with Democrats saying they’re gonna get tough, gonna stand up to Trump, then nothing This is standing in his face and bitch slapping him.
Newsom took the gloves off at a rally today. He's declared war on all the bullshit and pussyfooting around a real old fashioned fascist power grab by the super-rich and their hired pols. Part of it is a series of posts from his press office that do troll Trump's silly all-caps style on the socials.
Where are the rest of the Democrats? The Nazis weren't defeated with appeasement & bipartisanship. The Nazis rose because the opposition neglected to address the severity of the threat or chose to ignore what was happening. The Republicans are building their Nazi State in plain sight.
PREACH!
Some of our most potent weapons in the fight against a treasonous pedophile: A sandwich Governor Newsom's mocking tweets South Park Stephen Colbert As long as it keeps getting under the regime's skin, I am here for it.
You forgot himself. He’s his own enemy.
Sandwhich Guy has been deemed a GYRO.
Hungry guy willing to sacrifice his lunch to stand up for what is important… I hope this is where we are all at now!
These are helpful mostly in diverting the news cycle control away from a president who constantly tries his own antics to distract real reporters from covering his daily criminal and unconstitutional activity, and a complicit silent congress. But we also need voices promoting what we're for.
The evil orange ulcer can't stand being called #VPTrump. It got rid of #PresidentMusk because of that hashtag (at least, its wounded vanity was the primary cause). Perhaps #PresidentVought will trigger the same reaction in #DementiaDon.
#PresidentMiller
#PedoPresident
He keeps trying to distract from all the Epstein talk, so I say we go with #Pedonald
I think of him as Presidentdemente.
#TrumPedo and his #PedoCult
Ooh, I like #TrumPedo, that's a good one.
When it comes to the immigration crackdown, should rather be #PresidentMiller. But of course it's a group effort, so maybe it should just be called #PresidentTroll, without naming names. Or perhaps #PresidentRoberts. (See @heritagefdn.bsky.social)
That's probably not an actual account for the Heritage Foundation, though.
I doubt it. He keeps as low a profile as he can and doesn't steal the limelight. Not until ducks in a row and Heritage will get rid of him. He's given easy tasks and they're setting agenda.
I suspect they will continue to Weekend at Bernie's him until it's too difficult, then JD. That is the terrifying part. Why has JD been on 6 vacations in 6 months? Especially to the English Cotswolds? I realize this sounds like the worst Ludlum plot ever, but I've been doing a sort of 6° of JD.
His given name is Donald Bowman. That's on his birth certificate. Is JD his drag name then? He has said you shouldn't be able to vote unless your name matches the name of your birth certificate... sticky for VP Hypocrite.
JD is wildly unpopular. Not that Dump has any charisma but he does have idiot followers like him.
Oh please make this asshole a dick toter.
Arbeit macht frei... Yes. When deportations have become part of the equation and concentration camps the other, what exactly is planned for those not being deported? Or is it just a test bed? Now for citizens, the homeless and whoever else the Nazis rounded up.
Whoever is IN THE WAY
Vance has too much pride and an embarrassingly desperate ego. He would be his own worst enemy.
Is, not would be
Truth 😅
We can only hope.
I really can’t understand that he can think himself As someone important!
And he lacks charisma. I doubt he understands that he is as much of a puppet as the figurehead one is. I reckon that, once his usefulness wanes, he will be discarded by the puppet masters.
Vance could NEVER sit with putin or ANY world leader or dictator. He acts like a kid with his first “big boy” job.
Meanwhile Rump acts like a boy with a crush around Putin
The evil orange ulcer #VPTrump can't do it either: see Helsinki 2018, where he believed Putin and thus indirectly but unambiguously accused his own secret service of lying, his super-embarrassing encounter with Zelenskyy, where he was the worst host in the world, etc.
Stated a little differently but very similar to what I just mentioned to someone today about JD.
“a kid with his first ‘big boy’ job” is such a perfect description of Vance. 👌🏼
Don't underestimate the rest of us. We can do better.
He's so damned cringe, let's just SPELL IT OUT. 😬
Pride????? He grovels and debases his office on the daily.
Can’t wait. The magats won’t love and revere him the way they do trump. After all, Jd never had a reality show.
There is that. It seems that he has had some face time with Murdock and a 3rd party? Thiel? Musky Breath? Perhaps the coup within the coup?
💀😂
Look for Jennifer Welch, Angie Sullivan and “Take your ass to Cracker Barrel!” These sharp elbowed Oklahomans dished it out so hard they drew Faux News fire. #IHIPNews
💙 💙 💙
All the media network need to cover this every evening.
Don't miss the point that it isn't Trump @ top of the Org Chart. Leonard Leo is still funneling beaucoup $'s to Trump's Genocidal causes, supported by SCOTUS 6. Leo recently funded $'s to Erik Prince's think tank contributing to Genocide in Gaza, and Genocide on US citizens and immigrants, alike. *
* It would be efficient for people to find a way to stem/halt the funneling of $'s, or Web network of the Mob. That, or infiltrate by taking jobs in Fed Govt., or Talent Market (one recipient of Mike Flynn's/Ivan Raiklin's mgmt. of Leonard Leo $'s).
Exactly
And we have stealth weapon - Epstein files. No one have seen them but they certainly did a lot of damage
Hunter Biden interviews being sued by Melania were also quite good
protests everywhere all the time
Same. Same.
Great. I can handle these weapons. I'd probably shoot myself in the foot if I tried to use a gun.
And that's the point right there, ain't it?
I don't think for a moment he expects them to turn around and criticize Trump. I think he expects them to cheer for him just as they cheer on Trump, in exactly the same way. This is intentional positioning and not ironic at all.
Apparently Gavin is all out of fucks to give 🤟
He's certainly siezing the moment. He was pretty much done. Now he's rising fast af.
Gavin Newsom is the result of experience. A slow and methodical rise to the top. He was never "done." President of the U.S.? Governor of California 2019-present Lieutenant Governor of California 2011-2019 Mayor of San Francisco 2004-2011 San Francisco Board of Supervisors 1997-2004
👏👏👏
Yes Sir!!!! Give him back what he puts out!!!!
How fucking dare they act concerned now, after all the bullshit the felon posts. MSM can fuck right off!
Damn! He can fire back perfectly!!!
The idiocy of the legacy media when presented with their own indifference to Trump's rants & screeds. I swear those idiots don't even read or listen to Trump's insane weaving in and out of dementia.
He’s a little more liberal than I but definitely could vote for him as 48
It’s perfect strategy, kudos to Newsom
Our media is so broken…
👏👏👏👏👏👏Love Newsom ❣️
Perfect response to that ass kissing reporter. Many of these reporters are worthless. And corporate media shits their collective pants at the thought of the felon being mean to them.
Exactly. Ask him!
I love how he explained the joke to me. 🤣
Media chicken shts af.
Precise and directly to the point.
The US media has never been liberal.
That’s called matching energy lady if you don’t like it and it makes you uncomfortable then you should be uncomfortable no matter who is writing it. And if you have a problem with Newsome talking that way but not the orange pedophile you’re in a cult
KEEP FIGHTING GOVERNOR!
Hold Trump accountable!!
Perfect response
👌
This is how all democrats should be answering questions - by pointing out the hypocrisy of the press.
👏👏👏
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Don’t make me love you more @governor.ca.gov 🥰 Seriously though- It’s so damn good to see Dems raise their fists instead of just taking the punches.
Every single reporter is worthless and they enable Fascism. Start funding independant journalists and get rid of those Billionnaire Owned trash.
Newsom has exactly the right attitude for this moment
This is what I’ve been begging Democrats to do for thirty years: when the media throws this double standards bullshit at you, shove it right back in their smug fucking faces. Fuck the media; it’s terrible, and it loves Republicans and despises Democrats. It provides theater criticism, not news.
Exactly
Yessss
👍💙🇺🇸
@msnbc.com Loving @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Gavin Newsom standing up full throttle. "We need to meet fire with fire!". Throw on some accelerant need be! Thanks to Dem leadership supporting this response!
He's right. The normalisation of Trump's tweets over all these years has enabled Trump's behaviour, emboldened his actions and he's never faced ANY consequences. In fact, he's been rewarded with a presidency.
All the media when Biden is using a wrong word for another : he is senile ! All the media when Trump is acting like a complete lunatic : perfectly normal !
So well played.
Not sure I understand your question. Are you concerned? If you sympathize Trump, I understand. Otherwise he deserves more flak.
He’s right.
DAMN STRAIGHT
Yes, he's on it. And it is about time someone fight fire with fire. You can still be the good guy if your heart's in the right place while trolling.
Hey MAGA: facts don’t care about your feelings!
Amen
THATS RIGHT
And yet none of these spineless cowards have any balls to call Dolan out on his stupid ass fuck posts
I need to know who asked that and then find out if she's asked Trump about his "strategy"
These truly are bizarre times - really absurd.
Serious question…are reporters kind of dumb by nature?
Reporters, no. Editors, yes. Never forget there's an unseen element between what reporters write and readers get to read.
Yes or they are pro Maga
Or just pro anything that sells.
I’d say they have to be really stupid to be pro MAGA
Or pathetic cowards, though there’s not much difference between the three.
They weren't always cowards necessarily, though many went along with whomever was in power. Dump's first term proved that. In the 70's the repukes realized that the public had turned against them and they needed to own the media, so they dismantled the safeguards against that and here we are.
I think you also should take into account that perhaps this reporter wanted to give Newsom the opportunity to make a strong statement regarding these tweets. So, these kinds of questions can work in favour of the person being asked, provided they have a strong answer.
Evidently
Roasted baam.
No, it’s professional stupidity.
Reporters, too, need to be educated at times.
They are necessarily dumb because their careers are in the hands of vulture capitalist sociopaths, who have clearly sent down the chain what they want promoted and what they want ignored.
They are constrained by their employers at least in the mainstream media.
Yes, they are. Among college majors, Journalism is almost the only one that doesn't require math and science. And, many Journalism majors graduate without ever learning what a primary source is, or even what a logical fallacy looks like. That's why they think "both sides" is journalism.
This crop of reporters certainly seem dumb. More likely that corporate has told them keep it lowball in order to stay in Donnie Dummo’s good graces.
So good!! Love his comments!!
Weird that the reporter doesn’t question the President of the United States TROLLING its citizens.
Even if they were to compare him to Satan, the media will always give Trump a pass. 🤦🏽♂️
Establishment legacy media is a complete disgrace.
Touche’ Newsom. Did any reporter correct Trump when he said not once but twice he was going to Russia instead of Alaska? Man doesn’t deserve respect because he doesn’t give it. Call him out!
☝️☝️🎯
Freudian slip
Hey reporter... "What would you say to those who question your recent posts on X trolling the President?" Unless, of course, you're just an imbecile and asking for yourself. You're welcome.
Some elements of society seem to have forgotten that the President of the United States is supposed to be a role model for the rest of us. So if acting like the President is a problem, the problem is the President.
Bingo
In 2016 I was complaining about Trump on the world stage and representing America. He’s worse now.
Totally. Things started to spiral out of control around 2015-2016 when republicans online started spewing hate after hate. MAGA has the audacity to ask democrats to tone it down. Pathetic.
Personally, I noticed a shift online around 2010/2011, followed by the rise of the Tea Party. That really laid the groundwork among a lot of the GOP base for Trump to take over.
You go, Girl!!
If "us" is white folk, then yeah, you're angry now. If you are a POC, it is fuckin' terrifying.
I am a white folk who is also terrified….. and angry. An old white folk at that. Terrified for my kids, for my future grandchildren, terrified for my gay daughter and my Honduran daughter in law and her family. Terrified for my old age. Terrified for all POC.
California voters will be voting on the redistricting. That's not happening in Texas.
California voters originally voted for fair redistricting with boundaries set by compactness and commonality. The reason why there aren't many Republican officeholders is that there are few places where they hold a plurality, and fewer a majority, on the scale of a district
And it's not happening because the remaining sane legislators in Texas (i.e. Democrats) literally had to flee the state to keep it from happening. If Republicans don't want gerrymandering, then they should stop pushing for it.
Amen ❤️.
Well said!
More people need to be doing this. 👏👏👏
Right the fuck on, Gavin! Why DOESN’T MSM question the moron in chief about his constant tweet diarrhea
Exactly 💯
He is so spot on; he gives me hope that everything is not broken and we can get this repaired......... Now it is time for the rest of the Blue Governors to jump in and on this bandwagon.
Facts!! Love main stream media getting called out!
Turnabout is fair play, except that chickenshit bullies can’t take it and neither can their sycophants!
As a long-time Californian (I've also lived in NJ & NY), I'm proud that Gavin Newsom is setting himself up to be the #1 contender in 2028 -- by bringing the same pummeling, prize-fighter approach to Putin's Pedo Puppet that Biden began his campaign in April, 2019. Go, Gavin!
BRAVVVVVVVVO! YES. When WE do it: OMG!! 🚨 When #PedoPOUTUSFelon does it: 🦗🦗🦗
Newsome for President! Big Hands I know you're the one! 😂
love it!!
You'll never know how badly I hoped someone would get the reference! Thank you. 😘
When California has the 5th largest GPT. Why don't they offer healthcare like Canada. It will let other blue states follow. Republicans. will demand it. not to be undone.
Not for nothing, but look up Medi-Cal and California Covered
Since California has the 5th largest GDP. Can they start a movement to get health care as we get in Canada?
Precisely. Every democratic lawmaker and governor should follow suit. Post as you normally would, but at least once a day make a Trump style post. It’s a perfect way to highlight the embarrassingly egotistical, rambling, word salad that republicans like to pretend is perfectly normal.
He is absolutely correct. Trump has been sending out insulting messages that are full of lies for years. Unfortunately there are a lot of stupid people in this country that believe what Trump says. Fight fire with a blowtorch.
Yes!
👏🏻👏🏻
I have absolutely no concerns with what Gavin Newsome puts out trolling a dispicable Ptesident. Ytrump deserves no respect.
I want to see governors get together to form a fake crypto currency company in another country. (A money laundering ruse) to say they have a right generate wealth for their family while in office, then sell blue sneakers and blue bibles, and ask media & MAGA, if Trumps playbook is normal for all
He’s got a point!
Yes!! Love Newsom!!
If nobody from the press live-streamed his antics conference, and nobody calls Trump out for his social trolling, it's a demonstrate that the press (collectively) can be co-opted by fear like every other institution. They were afraid of losing access; they already did. And still they're silent.
US media is utterly pathetic.
You've got that right! There are very few real journalists anymore. They're beholden to their corp overlords, have little integrity & are not supported by their editors who are silenced by the oligarchs who have taken over. @washingtonpost.com @latimes.com @nytimes.com BBC does a much better job
The Guardian is great, too. Also, have to note that we DO still have real journalists (some pretty decent ones, too); they're just not part of corporate media anymore. These are the people we need to support and help grow until THEY'RE the ones in these press pools asking the questions.
Never said we don't - I said very few. We can argue how many very few means, but I agree that they should be supported. Unfortunately, the current maga market doesn't include them.
That’s our 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Bigly handsome Governor!
Thank you, GOVERNOR NEWSOM!!
YOU FORGOT HANDSOME 🤣
As a resident of California, a HUGE hell to the yeah!!🎉🎉Finally!!!
Right answer.
Love the way he is fighting back. Never was a fan, but I am now.
The only democrat right now with balls
The only male Democrat with balls. There are a few woman democrats with a lot of strength. Gavin is making ground though.
Ok. Next time ask the president what the fuck he is on about.
He should have said “that’s a very nasty question. Where are you from? A horrible horrible question from a biased media” I bet they wouldn’t even have recognised he was trolling them.
100% on point! 👏👏👏 @governor.ca.gov
This is the energy everyone should expect from the democrats they voted for!! This is the way all democrats need to respond to the regime!!!
But ... Trump is allowed to be a troll ... he's been rich and entitled his whole life.
“If you have issues with what I'm putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he's putting out” Amen to what Newsom @governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social says!
Damn I’m really starting to love him! He tells it like it is!!!!
Priceless! Made my day! 👊🇺🇸
liking him more all the time
Sure, he's a pure politician with no true beliefs, but at least he was adept enough to change his approach to this rather than continue trying to find a middle ground with fascists like the congressional Dems. He's still terrible, but at least he can tell the way the wind is blowing.
www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...
newsom is the cpap for trump's apnea
Perfection
And release the Epstein files
i mean, the man has a point
Hot damn, Newsom!! Right on mark.
lol this question is a shining example of the double standard applied between dems and republicans.
Thank you for addressing the "normalcy" issue Gov. N.
Succinct and on target! 🎯
People need to start understanding VERY CLEARLY that the rules that we play by, even the very definition of civil resistance, can be changed now by the executive branch, with no pushback at all from the courts. That is the battle we are fighting.
I absolutely love that he is calling out the bullshit. Trump takes a dump on America on a daily basis and the media yawns.
Newsom is running for President and I do not believe he ever raped anyone - good luck to him and I hope he gets TACO CRAZY😇
Exactly!!!!!
Perfect answer!
He makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.
#HeIsInTheFiles
What's going on with those posts by the president that are clearly trolling everyone?
Looking very highly polished while he's at it. He's rising to the occasion.
✊️
He's using Trump's exact words, how is that trolling?
Goddamnit I’m starting to love Newsom!
Damn fuckin Skippy, go newsom!
Bullies really hate when you mock and make fun of them, this is brilliant strategy.
Wake up call? Newsom lacks a fundamental understanding of Trump's pathology. If Newsom believes Trump is capable of any kind of sudden realization makes me believe he's as delusional as Trump is.
He's stating the ignorance of felon's messages and his base accept their masters bullshit posts. If they get upset with Newsom's posts, look at what their master is doing...the wake up call. He's not lacking the understanding of felon. He's showing how fucked up felon is...mentally.
About time someone called it out.
NS!
But but but it’s up to the democrats to maintain a a sense of decorum 🙄
cant afford to do that anymore
This is the end of Democrats taking the high road when the Republicans take the low road. There's going to be a lot more ugliness and screaming as the Republicans realise someone is getting in the muck with them with a punch to the face.
Forcing the press to acknowledge that they expect more out of Democrats than Republicans is the first step in disrupting the right wing media bias. Just like the 12 step program says, you can't change until you admit you have a problem. Mock them until they admit they have a problem with bias.
💯
Well said. I do think that Newsome could have pointed to some of the words Trump has used to describe Americans is his messages. You know, like "scum".
This wasn’t the time… But honestly where can someone BEGIN to point out all the crap
Journalists should have pointed out the crap themselves, starting ten years ago.
💯
I respectfully disagree. With the media mostly bought and paid for, I knew this question was going to come up. I'm not criticizing Newsome and love what he's doing, but ALL Democrats should be ready to respond in kind to media bias.
Every day, some journalist asks a Dem Pol a question that should be, but will not be, asked of a Republican. We need to fight hard against that, and with details. Hell, by now I would have asked "Do you make enough money to pretend to be neutral?" and "Are you proud of your work against Democracy?"
If not now, when? When it's too late?
And “vermin”
Where have I heard that before...?
No longer-
It is so refreshing to heat an intelligent, eloquent, and well-mannered politician stand up for our rights.
He is exactly right. Why is there no outcry over Trump's insane tweets????
Way to answer the ass kisser!
Newsom giving me whiplash this year but thrilled he seems to be finding his footing again
Trump isnt the only one that can make statements on the internet- we just dont hide behind a private paywall
I love it!
I blame those vicious Canadians for starting it: "Elbows up!" I'm pretty sure Mike Myers is really a sniper.
I have newfound respect for for Governor Newsom.
Yup!
Fucking finally.
🔥🔥🔥💥💥BOOM!💥💥☄️☄️☄️
Well…fuck yeah.
